Nope. The original was a 68010. It's a virtual memory machine (with a custom MMU), and you can't run VM with a 68000, period - that's why the 68010 exists. >That's what differentiated it from the 3B1 (which was a 68010). The difference between the Unix PC and the 3b1 was the nameplate, only. It's just like the "Porsche 914", which in Europe was sold as a Volkswagen. The 3b1 label was reserved for the top of the line, but they are the same machine. >Don't know about the memory protection on either model, though. Custom MMU on all of them. Works like a charm.
